Cotto NO warrior

Firstly I'm NOT hating on Cotto but last nights fight solidified for me that he isn't a Warrior. Sure he kept fighting with the cut, but so has thousands of other fighters over the years. That cut would have been a scratch for someone like Gatti. I just didn't like the way he was running away as well. He really wasn't firing at that point and fight was still close. I'm no DLH fan, but even he threw everything at Mosley and Ike late. I just can't imagine Pac, Marquez, Morales, Mosley and so on running like that. Even Floyd wouldn't run like that. Cotto is a very very good boxer with great skills but he's not a warrior. cotto is willing to fight the toughest WWs out there so I give him a pass on the warrior bullshit.

cotto is a worrier. ts is in denial..... he fact id he fought through a huge gash and constant punishment to pull out a close but clear decision win

He doesn't mean like that. He means people who get into wars. Cotto doesn't get into wars. It's like calling Mayweather a warrior, makes no sense. Cotto doesn't stand and bang like Pacman or Duran does. So if what he meant by warrior is stand and bang. Cotto doesn't fit the bill. Okay, I understand.

He is a warrior, no one can take that away from him. To be fair, that cut was impairing his vision, and I think Clottey hurt him in the mid rounds. Cotto saw that, on the inside, he wasn't able to land as much, so he tried another game plan. Some fighters like Mosley and DLH would have gone all out, but Cotto is more intelligent and chose to box. He doesn't mean like that. He means people who get into wars. Cotto doesn't get into wars.

I agree with TS. The thing is I saw Clottey doing the boxing last night, working behind his jab landing counters blocking punches, and I saw Cotto get taken out of his comfort zone, and retreat, when it wasn't necessary. Cotto has heart that can't be questioned, but I do not think he has the warrior mentality.

carlos quintana, zab judah, shane mosley, antonio margarito, joshua clottey and now possibly pac all in 3 years and no catchweights. who else would take this road, 1 loss but no1 would go undefeated in this line up cant say pwill he lost to quintana, hurt ribs floyd lolol, too scred, if miguel cotto isnt a warrior then no1 is.....hatin ass bitches

Brently you should not have bothered with this thread. This place is full of total fuktards that were never going to consider your point logically. Rule # 1 for NSB: If you say anything negative about a fighter, anything at all, you hate them.* * There may also be evidence of self-hate or racism depending on your race and the race of the fighter you are constructively criticising. Thanks Dan. I should have know I guess. It was an observation

I typed a long post and my iinternet went out on me. Son of a bitch. I'll hit this thread up later. Let me just say I disagre... My main reason being, the cut, his past, etc. Remember the Torres fight, what he went through. Some people clinch when hurt. For some reason Cotto's not capable of that, so he moves away.

i understand where you are coming from and i disagree. I respect that. Like most things with the fight game it is a matter of opinion.

When was the last time you saw a fighter fight through a cut like that? Cuts like that stop fights.

I hope you didn't ponder that response for too long. Seriously dude you can do better than that. But what I say that really warranted that comment??? Seriously some people just can't handle it. I can handle it but people like u write stupid post. I wonder whos ur favorite fighter?

i understand where you are coming from and i disagree.

Ferris Bueller is no warrior! That is relevant.

I wasn't being serious I was pulling an Ult... Okay Cool. You had me worried then. LOL

Okay here we go....For **** sake I should have know this thread would be too much for people and YES I have. I wasn't being serious I was pulling an Ult...

brently1979 ur a piece of shit...... u don't know shit!!!! I hope you didn't ponder that response for too long. Seriously dude you can do better than that. But what I say that really warranted that comment??? Seriously some people just can't handle it.
